I always think of these as matchbox Leicas. I'm interested in why you say get an old one, or do you mean an original type rather than a Classic? I have two old German ones with the Carl Zeiss lenses and a Singapore 35S and I really don't know what I like best. Also- anyone ever use one of these with the neckstrap? Its the same as the wriststrap but a fair bit longer. Its the only way I know to walk around with two at the same time, both ready to use, without banging them together; one on the wriststrap, one round my neck. Joe Berenbaum
